Monitoring of health and cost effective management is the only way to ensure economic viability of healthcare systems. Based on data rate, power consumption, security, scalability, price and the benefits of standardization, ZigBee offers interoperability and vendor independence as well. The impact of ZigBee could result in increased product innovation as a result of the industry standardization. It is likely that Zigbee will increasingly play an important role in the future of computer and communication technology [6]. This technology is best designed to suit certain applications like home automation, commercial building automation, smart energy including patient monitoring and care under Patient Health and Hospital Care (PHHC) [7]. Thus, there has been increased interest among research groups in developing wireless recording and monitoring for real-time physiological parameters (e.g. Heart Beat, Temperature, ECG, Blood Pressure etc.) from a patient body in medical environments [7],[4],[5]. Existing wireless data collection systems use standards such as ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) or Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1). This paper describes a system to remotely monitor a patient's parameters. The data is transferred to a central monitoring station using a wireless ZigBee module for display and storage. A user-friendly graphical user interface is designed for monitoring current and past measurements for all patients being monitored. The major part of the project is dedicated towards processing of sensor data and circuit design. Main task include working with the wireless module and creating a software application for sensor data display[10].
